CAN YOU SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU DO?
We are a kitesurf and SUP center in
the UK. We have a beautiful teaching
area in a harbor giving perfect flat
water for kiting at all levels and
amazing SUP tours. We teach all levels
from beginner to expert and instructor
training, we do lots of foiling too. We
do a bunch of clinics each year to teach
and coach kitesurfing and SUP worldwide.
Our courses are geared towards all
levels: beginner, intermediate, expert
and instructor levels.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED AND WHEN WERE
YOU ESTABLISHED?
We have been going since 2004 and we are
based at Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset. We
have taught on every continent and run
more coaching holidays than any other
UK business. This year is our fourteenth
consecutive year to Brazil. We have
added a couple of foiling clinics this
year which are fab.
WHERE ARE MOST OF YOUR CLIENTS
FROM?
UK and Europe, USA and Canada.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND YOUR TEAM
BEEN KITING?
As a team we have over 100 years
experience! Head honcho Andy Gratwick
has been kiting since 1998.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT MAKES YOU
SPECIAL COMPARED TO OTHER KITING
BUSINESSES?
Andy has worked within kitesurfing for
Destination Guide
20 years. He went on the first instructor
course, then set up the first school
in Poole. We were first to run clinics
and the first to all our destinations
where we have great setups and know the
locations like a second home. We have
more experience than anyone else, we
care about all our clients who are all
our friends, and we love what we do, so
that makes it pretty easy!
CAN YOU TALK US THROUGH EITHER
YOUR MOST RECENT TRIP?
We were on our Caribbean program,
where we had a catamaran around the
Grenadines for a week with the most
insane downwinders and easily the best
foiling spot I have ever found. We then
had two wave clinics in Barbados which
had great conditions with only one
windless day in a month!
WHAT DO YOU HAVE LINED UP FOR THE
NEXT FEW MONTHS?
Peru in June to the longest left on
the planet.
Greece foiling in July… A perfect get-
to-grips-with-it clinic.
Canaries in September for some fun kite
and SUP waves.
Brazil for November for some guaranteed
winds… Then back to the Caribbean early
2019.
WHY SHOULD OUR READERS CHOOSE TO
SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY WITH
YOU?!

doing it… And all our customers love
coming back!
